Great idea, great atmosphere...

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2004)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Because Ireland is such close proximity to the UK, the idea of a virus infecting a whole country both disturbs and fascinates me.
28 days later has some excellent photography (just look at the deserted London streets) and some fine acting from the up and coming Cillian Murphy (who is Irish also!). I have just seen Dawn of the Dead, but it doesn't compare. This is your typical gore fest from Hollywood, but it doesn't have the same feel or look as 28 days later. Danny Boyle is a brilliant director and has done a great job.
I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to this film. It would be nice to see how they cure the infected UK.
Anyway, have a look at 28 days later. It will make you think. 8/10
